Haven't tried that much stuff, still working out a few things. Unboostef DHS stuff is still new, but for my attack first playing style it makes sense, there is work to be done for the countering but I will give it a run for a while.

Nah not hoping for WCQ to lose, hoping to see the two players on top of their game. More like Asian Games finals even if Fan was beginning to fall then already.

The best part of this tournament so far is seeing a normal Fan Zhendong again. Looking forward to tomorrow. You were missed, FZD!

No, it is not strawmanning, strawmanning means something very different from what you think it means. No it is not moving the goal posts either, because the point is why one should take any athlete's statement over lots of evidence. It is called pointing out that you are not even...

I think looking at the punishment that the Chinese put their players through to develop extremely fine and consistent looping and placement machines, Harimoto still has ways to go to up the physicality of his game to catch up to where Xiang Peng and Lin Shidong will be in a few years. Or even...

What Takkyu meant is that there are likely contexts in which Chen Meng spoke humbly about her gold medal so acting like what the athlete said (or anyone says) without the context of the whole achievement is giving one perspective too much privilege (or is Ito no longer the only Olympics singles...

The point about comparing the potential of a 17 year old to the potential of a 23 year old is too obvious to state and the point about 23 being well past zeio's achieve-or-retire age is well stated as well. Unfortunately, winning arguments is more fun than dispassionately presenting facts.

It feels to me like too much competition and should ideally be replaced by internal training. But that said, no one knows how to really do internal training other than the CNT.

Not a penholder, two winged shakehand looper. I coincidentally just tried my first sheet of blue sponge DHS rubber for Hurricane 3 and all I can say is wow, what a livelier sponge topsheet combination. I am going to start with two sheets of Skyline 3 then I might end up where you are since...

Okay. Your stance is irrelevant to whether Gauzy or Alexis should be selected on the basis of who is a better medal hope for France in singles.

I am using Skyline 2 unboosted right now and for pure spin, I prefer it to Hurricane 3. Well the spin is one thing, but the pushes and the control on touch shots and pushes is amazing. Does anyone know how Skyline 3 compares? I am thinking a bit about looking for something faster for...

Not sure how the goalposts are being moved, the debate is Gauzy vs Alexis for a singles, there is no debate over Felix. Since nothing in your argument speaks yo that, not worth responding beyond what I have already written.

Sidespin from Felix. It is how he keeps the ball low sometimes and it is hard to counter, especially from his backhand.

Thanks for answering my question, though as we all know, your position ia not driven by his performance vs Gauzy but by purported negative influence on Felix. To me there is no doubt he should be playing over Gauzy.

Obviously a WTTC bronze match is bigger, but I take this match. Amazing given the level the opponent was presenting. Obviously there was a gift from Alexis, but Liang made more than his fair share of amazing shots to save this especially at the 9-9 point.

Alexis has a major advantage here, Liang doesn't look right. I think Coach Molin must have told him yo juat continue making Liang move and that he should not lose his patience that opportunities will come. If Liang wins this, it will be one of the biggest wins of his career from a mental...

Well we had high hopes for Harimoto ans Lin Yun Ju... see how that turned out...

Is it just my perception or has the way Ma Lin interacts with his players changed? It is almost as if he is asking more questions rather than giving instructions? Note that I do not speak a word of Chinese so I am just making up stories in my head about what is happening based on what I see...

Miu Hirano, the score is now 0-2. When are you going to activate your Zhang Jike mode?

Tell that to zeio lol.
